Produced water from oil and gas exploration is one of the major challenges posed by the
energy sector due to the large volumes generated daily and the potential hazardous effects …

Large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are produced by the surface-
mining oil sands industry in Alberta. Both laboratory and field studies have demonstrated …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are widely present in crude oil and oil sands process-affected water
(OSPW). NAs in crude oil lead to corrosion problems, promote emulsion formation, decrease …

During toxicity testing, chemical analyses of oil and exposure media samples are needed to
allow comparison of results between different tests as well as to assist with identification of …

This study is the first to investigate the removal of naphthenic acids in a full-scale
constructed wetland within the Alberta Oil Sands region. The average mass-removal …

The objective of this study was to advance analytical methods for detecting oil sands
process-affected water (OSPW) seepage from mining containments and discriminating any …

The process of surface mining and extracting bitumen from oil sand produces large
quantities of tailings and oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). The industry is currently …

The exponential increase in the production and transportation of petroleum-derived products
observed in recent years has been driven by the escalating demand for energy, textiles …

Constructed wetland treatment systems (CWTS) s can be used to treat various wastewaters.
The main constituent in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) with uncertain treatment by …

Classical naphthenic acids (NAs) are known to be primary aquatic toxicants of concern in
the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR), and are a component of naphthenic acid fraction …
